Newly-elected American President Michael Taylor shut down the Stargate Program in the hope of appeasing the international community. But something is wrong, and soon the remaining members of the SGC are forced to flee through the 'gate before more of their numbers disappear. Cut off from allies and resources, the survivors turn to galactic piracy to survive--and to arm themselves for a return to Earth, unsure what they will find. Who was really behind the dismantling of the SGC? Is there something more sinister on the horizon? Can SG-1 get to the bottom of the conspiracy and save the world one more time?Unspeakable | G | 237 words | complete(STXI, Jim/Spock) prompt: Vulcans have an opposite cycle to Pon Farr, so horrifying to them that they don't even have a name for it. If Pon Farr makes them rampaging blind-urge-to-mate-machines, this other cycle makes them total cuddle-kittens, they get all soft and sweet and snuggly inside and if there's anyone they particularly like, they get the urge to be near them and to cuddle and snuggle and lavish them with warm fuzzies.Sharing | G | 229 | complete(STXI, Jim/Spock) prompt: all I want to see is fluffiness where one of them takes a jacket or something of theirs and wraps it around the other person.

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you'd predicted?More, actually, since I didn't expect to write other fic while I was working on my stargate_summer. Also, I wrote a shit-ton more Trek fic than I'd expected.

Top 3 Favorite Opening Lines:Parallels: She was the best thing that ever happened to him, better than getting out slum he'd grown up in and into Starfleet.Parturiency: Captain’s Personal Log, Stardate 2262.32: There may be an observable change in the command team dynamic tomorrow. At the very least we’ll be able to turn down the lights on the bridge, since I’ll be beaming, and I don’t mean letting Scotty experiment with the transporter again.Seven Days“We have to what?” Jim said, staring at his First Officer.

The Completely Self-Indulgent 10 Other Favorite Bits From This Year:I'm skipping Kriegsspiel for this, since I don't feel like a full reread right now.Love in a Time of Zombies: "Why're we doing this, again?" / "Survival of the human race, baby," Hank teased.Paper Hearts: “I inquired of a number of crew members as to the proper rituals for this holiday,” Spock said. He definitely seemed nervous now. “I found some of the information to be contradictory. And I do not understand how a small, plush sehlat is related to a human holiday. Humans are a strange, overly emotional species, and I...”Ink: The Vulcan symbols flow from Jim’s brush like water. Romulans wear this kind of mourning ink on their faces, their grief on display for all the world to see, but Vulcans are different in this way, too.

It continued as uneasy truce, shared awe of the universe smoothing the harshness into strength.Parturiency: “Unless you are referring to the ‘little death’, an ancient Terran euphemism for orgasm.”Parturiency: “You’re just full of information I don’t want to know.”Parturiency: “Don’t be surprised, Jimmy,” he said, his drawl thicker than ever. “You ain’t the only one with weapons training.”Second Chance: “I believed it would be beneficial for the Captain to enjoy some leisure time on the planet’s surface,” Spock says, and Jim feels a momentary hot pressure against the small of his back. Spock’s hand? “I do not believe that this meeting is conducive to that.”Leave Them On: "You love me for my brain," Jim teased, and Spock rewarded him with another breath-stealing kiss.The Gift: “Um, yeah,” Jim says, face turning an even darker shade of pink. “Gaila taught me to knit my first year at the Academy. I know it doesn’t fit my macho Captain persona, but I thought...” he trails off, obviously embarrassed. “Spock, say something. Please.”
